Commissioners say recent diesel thefts were not tied to local fiber contractor
Summary
At the Haskell County meeting, a participant clarified that recent diesel thefts were unrelated to 'Floyd's,' a contractor installing fiber optics; the county reported the diesel was recovered and the matter turned over to federal authorities.
At the Haskell County Board of Commissioners meeting, an attendee raised recent diesel-theft reports and sought to clear a rumor linking the thefts to a local contractor installing fiber-optic lines known in the transcript as "Floyd's."
"I just want to clear there that it had nothing to do with Floyd's," the speaker said, adding that the recovered diesel was "dirty" and that the case had been turned over to federal authorities. The speaker also said the thefts affected multiple parties and that Floyd's personnel had reported being hit as well.
The remark came under the “new business” portion of the agenda and was presented as a clarification rather than a formal complaint. No additional details about suspects, case numbers or expected follow-up by county law enforcement were provided during the meeting.
The board did not take formal action on the matter during the session; the speaker indicated the recovered fuel had been relinquished to federal authorities for investigation.
